LIKE most other works of Aristotle, the De Anima survives in a relatively large number of manuscripts; but none of these is earlier than the tenth century AD. Read the first page

A first rate collection of essays
8 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This collection of essays (the 1997 paperback edition) includes works by excellent scholars and covers the full range of issues raised by this first imperfect attempt at a philosophy of "mind." The Introduction by the editors succinctly summarizes the De Anima and contemporary issues of interpretation. I have very much enjoyed the essay by Charles Kahn, "Aristotle of Thinking," which elucidates the brief passages of De Anima with citations from other Aristotle works and discusses its relation with Descartes and current philosophical practice. Michael Frede's "On Aristotle's Conception of the Soul" and K V Wilkes' "Psuche versus the Mind" are two other intriguing essays that clarify Aristotle with reference to current philosophical discussion. I have read the Loeb translation and the very good discussion in Guthrie's Aristotle: An Encounter, and am very pleased to be able to explore the provocative and accessible essays of this collection. I began my study of De Anima to be able to understand Plotinus (and Emillson's excellent Plotinus on Sense-Perception.) I view this collection as an essential addition to my library on philosophy, as well as the best available guide to De Anima. It should be useful to serious students of Aristotle and classical philosophy, who are studying on their own, as well graduate students and genuine philosophers.
